Rominger receives recognition for farm to school efforts

By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer

For over a decade, Patty Rominger has been an integral part of Winters Farm to School’s success. While her unbridled selflessness is just part of who she is, it’s also the reason Yolo Community Founda tion is recognizing Rominger as one of 27 honorees at its 2022 Philanthropy Day event..

The Winters Farm to School nonprofit was started in 2011 by Patty Rominger, Cathy Olsen, Melanie Bajakian, Pat Thomp son, Fran Lewis and Christie Mayo. This Winters-esque orga nization strives to not only provide students with quality, local produce but to culti vate curiosity, knowl edge and respect for the agricultural roots and heritage of their hometown.

“Farm to School programs were get ting popular around the country, and when locals got together we were asking, ‘why is it that we live in this town that’s surround ed by working family farms that produce all this wonder, de

licious, healthy food and we’re not serving it to our students?’

Instead, we’re giving them stuff pre-pack aged or something.

So, the Farm to School program was born out of that question,” ex plained Rominger. “I was really interested in seeing school gar dens. I was a master gardener, worked on our family farm and see all the benefits of kids digging in the dirt and learning about where their food

Winters FD extinguishes mobile home fire

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief

The cause behind a two-alarm fire that damaged a single mo bile home on Sunday evening is still under investigation.

Interim Fire Chief Matthew Schechla

said the Winters Fire Department was alerted to a structure fire at the Winters Mobile Park on Sun day, Nov. 14 at 8:42 p.m.

Upon arrival, Win ters FD crews found a single, wide mobile home with smoke showing from the ex terior. The incident was elevated to a twoalarm fire due to the proximity of other homes, Fire Captain Art Mendoza told the

Express at the scene on Sunday evening. According to Men doza, they wanted to have additional crews on hand if the fire spread. Howev er, the fire was con tained quickly.

“Crews made an aggressive attack and had the fire con tained in about 15 minutes,” Schechla said.

Significant damage

comes from. That’s how I got involved and never expected it to become what it did, seeing it be so success ful and it’s really been a model not just for our state but across the nation we’ve been recognized.”

Rominger was quick to credit the nonprof it’s success to the scores of volunteers who comprise it and the community it’s a part of. While other

First responders discover body in rural Winters home

By Lauren Keene McNaughton Media

A man allegedly killed his wife at a rural Winters home Sunday shortly be fore taking his own life, according to the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s officials said they performed a welfare check at the home in Canyon Creek Resort on Highway 128 at about 11 a.m. in response to a call from a friend of the couple.

That person “ad vised a friend called him and stated he had killed his wife and was going to kill him self,” the agency re ported in a Facebook

post. “Once on scene, deputies located a de ceased adult female with a fatal gunshot wound inside of an RV.”

Investigators iden tified the suspect as the victim’s husband, 56-year-old, Alfonso Hernandez Jr. of Sac ramento, and issued a be-on-the-lookout bulletin for the High way 50 corridor, where Hernandez was be lieved to be headed by car.

At about 1 p.m., re ports came in that au thorities had located Hernandez’s vehicle at about 1 p.m. on Ice house Road, near the small town of White Hall.

“As El Dorado Coun ty sheriff’s deputies and California High way Patrol Officers at tempted to contact Al fonso, he shot himself and was pronounced dead at the scene,” the Facebook post said. “The firearm believed to be used in the homi cide was recovered.”

The victim’s name was expected to be re leased by Yolo Coun ty coroner’s officials after she is positively identified and next of kin notified, sher iff’s officials said. The motive for the killing also remains under investigation but is believed to be an iso lated incident.

County expects to release final vote tallies in December

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy McNaughton Media

It will likely be the first week of Decem ber before Yolo Coun ty residents know the final vote totals of lo cal races, including the races for Winters City Council and the school district Trust ee Area Two.

This election saw an immense number of vote-by-mail ballots

dropped off on Elec tion Day, including through the postal service, ballot drop boxes and voter assis tance centers, accord ing to county elections officials, and adding to the challenge was “an unprecedented amount of conditional and provisional bal lots, primarily due to same-day voter reg istrations associated with UC Davis stu

dents.”

As of last Thursday, an estimated 22,000 ballots countywide re mained to be counted and those conditional and provisional bal lots required more staff time to process.

“As such, it is esti mated that our office will need the entire 30 days to officially certify the election

WHS Holiday pies and snow flurries support a safe and sober grad night

WHS Grad Nite Parent Group Special to the Express

The Winters High School Class of 2023 Grad Nite Parent Group is preparing to ramp up its fundraising efforts to support hosting the Safe and Sober Grad Nite event for this year's senior class.

Since 1992, Winters High School graduating seniors have participated in a Safe & Sober Grad Nite. This all-night event provides a fun, safe, sober celebration for all graduating Winters senior high school students. Safe & Sober Grad Nite 2023 is held on the night of graduation and is important for the safety of graduates. Families work together to host the event to keep their children safe and sober in a drug and alcohol-free environment as they celebrate their graduation together.

The all-night celebration includes transportation, entertainment, food, music, games,

raffle prizes and more. This special night is free for all Winters graduates to attend. This year's event will take place in the evening following the WHS graduation on June 1, 2023.

Holiday pies 2.0

The Grad Nite Parent Group heard the feedback that Winters residents wished they had bought more pies from their recent pie sale earlier this month. They were able to sell 235 pies, and are excited to launch another round of pie presales just in time for the upcoming holidays.

The group plans to launch the website to place orders on Saturday, Nov. 19. Residents will be able to place orders through Nov. 30. Details about pie options, payment, and the pie pick-up date will be released through the WHS Class of 2023 Parents Groups social media accounts by this weekend.

Winters Community Tree Fund back for third year

Winters Community Tree Fund

The Winters Community Tree Fund is back for the third year in a row with its

mission of providing holiday trees to families in need.

As usual, the trees will be ordered and delivered by the Winters FFA, boosting the student group’s efforts

while also helping local families in need. The goal remains the same — raise enough funds for 25 to 50 trees for families in Winters and the Winters Joint Unified School District that have been requested or been identified as in need of assistance this holiday season.

The neighbor-led group will start purchasing trees around Nov. 30, pending availability, and asks you to give in any of the following ways: • Venmo directly to @WintersTreeFund

(last four digits 5367), or by clicking the link on the Winters Tree Fund website

• Donate in person at First Northern Bank, by referencing the checking account ending "3325"

• Write a check out to any organizer: Jack Vickrey, Richard Casavecchia or Taylor Buley to be deposited in the account.

Special meetings

The regular November Planning Commission meeting was canceled due to the holiday, and Planning Commissioners will instead convene at a Special Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be held as a hybrid event. The meeting agenda and packet are available on the City of Winters website at https://tinyurl. com/4y2xmzvx.

The Special Planning Commission meeting is a continuation of the Grand Prince Odeum Director’s Determination Appeal, which was initially heard during the Sept. 27 Planning Commission meeting. Commissioners requested City staff to return with additional information.

City Manager Kathleen Salguero Trepa announced in her Friday, Nov. 11 update that the Winters City Council will meet at a Special City Council meeting on Dec. 13 to seat the new Council and will cancel the Dec. 20 Council meeting.

AT&T work

Trepa said AT&T provided a schedule to the city regarding work along Newt’s Expressway. She noted the crews will need several weeks to pull wires and remove the poles. Work is scheduled to begin on Dec. 5. Trepa said Winters residents who are Wave/ Astound customers on that block should make alternative service selections soon.

New stop sign, driver safety

Trepa said the City has received concerns that some yards have tall shrubs, hedges and overgrown trees that are blocking driver's views at corners, making it difficult to see oncoming vehicles when pulling onto a street. "We will begin reaching out to some property owners as we follow up on-site distance concerns," Trepa said.

The City recently installed a new stop sign at Haven and Main Streets. Trepa reminded drivers to stop before turning onto Main Street and asked them to "watch for families and children entering the (City) park area."

Tractor cutouts

The Winters District Chamber of Commerce tractor and tree decorating contest has returned. Trepa encouraged residents to "help make Winters the merriest place to be this season." The community can purchase a tractor or trailer cut out from the Chamber by calling 530-795-2329.

results,” said Jesse Salinas, the coun ty’s clerk-recorder/ assessor/registrar of voters.

Those 30 days are what the state allows for counties to count ballots and certify re sults — a lengthy time period that Yolo Coun ty has rarely needed in the past.

Not so this time.

But Salinas said ev ery effort will be made to provide unofficial updates frequently

and to certify the elec tion as soon as possi ble.

After results were posted early morning on Wednesday, Nov. 3, no additional updates have been provided and none would occur until Tuesday, Nov. 15, the elections office said. A subsequent update to vote totals will follow on Friday, Nov. 18.

As of Tuesday, the City Council race results had Albert Vallecillo with 981 (22.89 percent), Carol Scianna with

919 (21.45 percent), Richard Casavecchia with 915 (21.35 per cent), Lisa Baker with 863 (20.14 percent) and Michael Olivas with 607 (14.17 percent).

The Winters Trustee Area Two race had In cumbent Carrie Green with 246 (63.08 per cent) and Challenger Robert Warren with 144 (36.92 percent).

The county elec tions office has until Dec. 8 to sort out how many registered vot ers actually voted, and members of the public are welcome to

observe the canvass ing process.

Elections workers will be working ex tended hours — 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. — on week days and some holi day weekends until the election is certi fied. That work takes place in the elections office located at 625 Court St., Suite B-05, in Woodland. Those interested in observ ing are encouraged to contact the elections office for the most upto-date schedule.

Contact the office at 530-666-8133.

members of the orga nization have been recognized for their efforts, Olsen, who is the Winters Joint Unified School Dis trict Director of Food Services, thought it was high time for Rominger to get the recognition she de serves.

So, after Olsen gave her nomination, the Yolo Community Foundation named Rominger one of the 27 people to be honored at their 2022 Philan thropy Day reception on Tuesday, Nov. 15.

The Yolo Commu nity Foundation is an organization that sup ports giving and pro vides philanthropic leadership in Yolo County. It also donates to local nonprofits, fosters volunteerism and bolsters philan thropic efforts when and where it can.

“There is a common thread throughout the stories of these Hon orees. Each one saw a need within a cause area they are passion ate about and offered their own expertise, time, skills, and fund ing to address that need,” said Jessica Hubbard, executive director of the Yolo Community Founda tion.

On Saturday, Nov. 12, the Winters Jr. Warriors Midgets lost in the first round of the Independent Sports Alliance of California (ISAC) playoffs against the undefeated Woodland Christian Jr. Cardinals by a score of 26–0.

While this score may seem devastating, Winters held Woodland Christian to a season-low.

“In both games against them, (we) were the only team in the league that did not get mercy ruled (33 point differential) by them,” said Jr. Warriors Midgets head coach Rudy Baylor.

In the second quarter, quarterback Aidan Baylor threw a deflected ball into the arms of a Woodland Christian defender who was able to return it for the first touchdown of the game. A turnover on downs a short time later gave Woodland Christian a 13–0 lead going into halftime.

“After the first half of the game, our 16man roster, compared

to the 35 they had, just got tired and had a hard time staying fresh and energized,” said coach Baylor.

The Jr. Warriors defense only allowed Woodland Christian to gain about 30 total yards in the entire first half making them the toughest competitors that Woodland Christian has had to face all season.

Jackson Holbein, Aidan Baylor, Joe Hawkins and Luis Silva played an excellent game and worked hard to shut down Woodland Christians’ passing attempts.

“The Woodland Christian coach mentioned that our nose guard Anthony Garcia may be the best he has ever seen at this level,” said coach Baylor.

The Jr. Warriors offense made some great plays and was headed into the endzone when a penalty was called on our sideline for bumping into one of the refs.

The 15-yard penalty was a momentum killer the boys could not recover from. The Jr. Warriors were doing everything they could to close the gap with

different formations and plays, trick plays, reverses, and pitch passes but ultimately nothing worked.

As good as the Jr. Warriors’ defense was, their opponents’ defense was better.

“I’m proud of the way this team fought all season. We played two of the toughest teams (in) the first two weeks of the season and got demolished. We also lost our starting running back and linebacker to an injury and I was really worried, but these boys never quit and got better and better every week after that finishing the season 6–3,” said coach Baylor.

The Jr. Warrior Midgets have grown throughout the season and have five players, who had nev- er played football before. After losing EJ Cruz in game two of the season with a broken elbow, Mark Gano stepped up as running

Q&A: Questions about hospice and palliative care

Illnesses and aging can force families to make challenging decisions regarding the health and well-being of people they love. Care facilities, home health aides and other services can help improve quality of life for those people who are no longer well enough — physically or cognitively — to care for themselves. Palliative and hospice care are part of these care offerings.

What is palliative care?

Palliative care is specialized medical services for individuals living with serious illnesses. It is not designed to cure or treat the condition itself, but it is a way to manage symptoms. It is typically used in conjunction with other forms of medicine that are attempting to treat or cure the disease.

What is hospice care?

Hospice is similar to palliative care in that it is geared to enhancing quality of life. Hospice care is for people in the last phases of incurable diseases and is intended to ensure they live as fully and comfortably as possible, according to the American Cancer Society.

Unlike palliative care, which accompanies traditional medical care, those who accept hospice care typically cease any other care attempting to cure the illness.

Who can benefit from palliative or hospice care?

Commission

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief

The Winters Senior Commission on Aging returned to its first in-person meeting since its last in-person meeting in early 2020.

While the Senior Commissioners have been meeting via Zoom, those in the room made comments about how nice it was to discuss things in person, as well as meet the newest Senior Commissioner Karen Croley.

The Senior Commission continues to have the challenge of keeping regular, seated commissioners.

Senior Commissioner and Secretary Karen Conerly resigned from her seat on Sept. 28.

There are currently five Senior Commissioners on the seven-seat commission.

The two vacant seats have terms that expire in June 2023.

Communication

Senior commissioners discussed different ways of communicating with older adults in Winters, as

on Aging says anyone living with a serious illness, such as cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and heart failure, can appreciate the support palliative care provides. It is helpful at any stage of the illness, and is best started soon after diagnosis.

Hospice care is for those who are in the final stages of their illnesses. Generally, hospice services are reserved for people who are expected to live another six months or less if their illness continues to run its course.

Are these services permanent?

The good news about palliative care and hospice care is that wishes are completely driven by the patient and his or her family. If the patient is incapable of making medical directives, his or her medical proxy can make changes to care wishes.

Research indicates that many times hospice care is started too late because people think it’s a form of “giving up.” However, anyone in hospice care can resume active care if they or

their caregivers choose to do so.

What can palliative and hospice care resolve?

The Mayo Clinic says that palliative and hospice care can improve symptoms such as pain, nausea or vomiting, anxiety, depression, constipation, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and trouble sleeping, among others.

Hospice care also can include spiritual and bereavement care. Hospice teams typically follow up with members of the immediate family to offer them

counseling or other services.

Who is in charge?

Patients and their families decide what they want out of these care measures. Palliative care teams are separate from the patient’s medical care team that’s managing their treatment. Hospice care teams coordinate the majority of care for the patient and communicate with the patient’s medical care team.

Hospice and palliative care are considerations for people with serious conditions.

Class of 2023 seeks pen pals

well as identifying the most effective means of communication. While many have turned to social media, Commissioner Tina Lowden noted that most older adults turn to the newspaper and a direct telephone call. Communicating messages and information with older adults at in-person events was also an effective form of communication.

Commissioners also discussed ways to better communicate with the city’s Spanish-speaking community to share news and information about resources. They are hoping to make connections with someone who can attend meetings and share updates with them.

The Senior Commission translated its Senior Resource Guide into Spanish. The resource guide was published and distributed in both English and Spanish. A digital version of the resource guide is hosted online on the City of Winters website. They would

like to continue providing communications in Spanish as often as possible.

Next meeting

Senior commissioners plan to approve a new secretary at the next meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 14 at 5:30 p.m. in the City Hall Large Conference Room (Abbey Street entrance).

Commissioners will also decide whether or not to change the meeting time. Senior commission meetings are currently scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of the month. There was discussion about having them begin around 6 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. like other city meetings.

One concern brought up with later meetings is during months when daylight savings is not observed (November through March), it gets dark earlier. Other concerns included whether older adults felt safe driving in the dark and that the earlier meetings cut into dinnertime.

Recently, the seniors in the Winters High School Class of 2023, and the Winters Senior Foundation joined pens and paper to participate in the school’s Senior Capstone pen pal project.

Inspired and conceived by Senior class officers President Giselle Del Toro and Treasurer Denise Valdez, the program arose from their personal experiences. They did not get the

chance to meet their grandparents and lacked the opportunity to share in this special relationship with an older generational partner, who could proved guidance, insights and wisdom.

They recognize the invaluable resource seniors retain and want to share in and learn from their experiences by engaging in a pen pal relationship. Ultimately, they believe this program will provide an opportunity for young adults to bond with senior members

of the community and to create a more unified community —expressed as “the power of words.”

Older adults who are interested in becoming a pen pal, should contact bob@ wintersseniorfounda tion.org with your name and home address. A high school student will be assigned to you and send a handwritten letter. It is expected that you will exchange letters once a month and engage in “the letter writing fun.”

New and familiar faces join in Holiday Play Festival fun

By Jim Hewlett Special to the Express

The wonderful thing about a 10-minute play festival is that it provides an opportunity for many actors to get in on the fun, whether they choose to perform in one play, or in multiple 10-minute plays. It also provides an opportunity for newcomers to get involved, and that’s just what is happening with the Winters Theatre Company (WTC) Holiday Play Festival.

One of these WTC newcomers is Haley Carpenter, who has performed previously in several productions, including “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Carpenter will be performing in four of the plays, or put another way, in half the plays in the festival. At auditions, Carpenter indicated that she was up for playing an elf… she definitely came to the right place.

When asked why people should see the show, Carpenter said, “People should see the show because the plays are very funny, entertaining, enrapturing, and fun for the whole family.” And when asked specifically why she enjoys playing the part of an elf in the various plays, Carpenter shared that “What I like most about playing an elf is that I can be myself: cheerful, happy, and overall joyful about everything.” We could all use more of those feelings these days.

Other newcomers to the WTC stage for the Holiday Play Festival include Sean Gavin, Brandon Frye, Lynn Rolston, Bill Corliss, and Mike Denardi. WTC is excited to have so many new faces joining in on the holiday fun and sharing their talents with the community.

These newcomers are joined by several actors who have been involved with the Winters Theatre Company for more than 20 years, including Trent Beeby, Tom Rost, and Ann Rost. Beeby is making his second appearance in a WTC 10-minute festival, after previously performing in several

plays in the inaugural WTC 10-Minute Play Festival, held in January 2020. He has also performed in many other WTC productions over the years, including “It’s A Wonderful Life,” “The Sound of Music,” “Leading Ladies,” and a number of Shakespeare productions.

Like Beeby, Tom Rost has also per-

formed in many WTC Shakespeare productions over the years, as well as “Greetings,” “The Sound of Music,” and “Fruitcakes.”

Ann Rost is yet another veteran WTC actor, having performed in “Fruitcakes,” “Heaven Can Wait” and “Calendar Girls.”

With the talent, energy and enthusiasm of the new actors, combined with the expertise and talent of the veteran actors, the Winters 10-Minute Holiday Play Festival will be a fun event for audiences to celebrate the holiday season.

A complete list of each of the plays to be performed is available on the Winters Theatre Company website at https://winterstheatre.org.

Shows will be at the Grand Prince Odeum Church at 201 Main St. in Winters at 7:30 p.m.

Housing affordability inches up from recent trough

mortgage at a 5.72 percent interest rate.

• Eighteen percent of California households could afford to purchase the $829,760 median-priced home in the third quarter of 2022, up from 16 percent in second-quarter 2022 but down from 24 percent in third-quarter 2021.

• A minimum annual income of $192,800 was needed to make monthly payments of $4,820, including principal, interest and taxes on a 30-year fixed-rate

• Nearly 30 percent (27 percent) of California home buyers were able to purchase the $630,000 median-priced condo or townhome. A minimum annual income of $146,400 was required to make a monthly payment of $3,660.

Housing affordability in California bounced back in the third quarter with the statewide index for existing single-family home sales inching up

to 18 percent after hitting a 15-year low of 16 percent in the second quarter of 2022.

The percentage of home buyers who could afford to purchase a median-priced, existing single-family home in California in third-quarter 2022 rose slightly to18 percent from 16 percent in the second quarter of 2022 but was down from 24 percent in the third quarter of 2021, according to C.A.R.’s Traditional Housing Affordability Index (HAI). California hit a peak high affordability index of 56 percent

in the first quarter of 2012.

C.A.R.’s HAI measures the percentage of all households that can afford to purchase a median-priced, single-family home in California. C.A.R. also reports affordability indices for regions and select counties within the state. The index is considered the most fundamental measure of housing well-being for home buyers in the state.

A minimum annual income of $192,800 was needed to qualify for the purchase of a $829,760 statewide me-

dian-priced, existing single-family home in the third quarter of 2022. The monthly payment, including taxes and insurance on a 30-year, fixed-rate loan, would be $4,820, assuming a 20 percent down payment and an effective composite interest rate of 5.72 percent. The effective composite interest rate was 5.39 percent in second-quarter 2022 and 3.07 percent in third-quarter 2021.

In anticipation of the Fed’s strong push on rate increases in the past few months, the market continued to put upward pressure on yields which resulted in the average 30year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) reaching the highest level in 20 years in late September.

The median price of existing single-family homes in California experienced the largest quarter-to-quarter decline in price since the first quarter of 2011. Despite the sizable quarter-to-quarter drop in median price, the share of

households in California that could afford to buy a median-priced condominium or townhome continued to slide from last year as the cost of borrowing remained high.

Twenty-seven percent of California households earned the minimum income to qualify for the purchase of a $630,000 median-priced condo/ townhome in the third quarter of 2022, which required an annual income of $146,400 to make monthly payments of $3,660. The third quarter 2022 figure was down from 37 percent a year ago. Nationwide housing affordability also plunged in third-quarter 2022. Compared with California, 39 percent of the nation’s households could afford to purchase a $398,500 median-priced home, which required a minimum annual income of $92,400 to make monthly payments of $2,310. Nationwide affordability was 50 percent a year ago.

Your vote counts in Winters

Congratulations are (yet unoffi cially) in order order for our new council members Al Vallecillo (597 votes), Carol Scianna (569) and Richard Casavec chia (566). Presuming no changes, credit goes to Lisa Baker (540) and Mike Olivas (372) for putting themselves out there for people to judge. There may be a few more votes to be counted, late mailin ballots, but it looks like we have three new councilmembers. They will join Jesse Loren and Bill Biasi in trying to keep Winters out of trouble.

It was a pretty close election, but we have had ties in the past. For now, Lisa only needed 26 more friends or rel atives to tie Richard. I can’t remember if the council drew straws or flipped a coin to decide the winner the last time we had a tie.

I remember Landslide Jack Graf became Yolo County Superinten dent of Schools with an eight-vote victory.

Winters has a city manager form of gov ernment, with Kath leen Salguero Trepa running the show, with guidance from our City Council. Over the years we have been lucky to have had good city councils, with a few exceptions. City managers have been a mixed bag of good to mediocre. This coun cil looks to be in good shape with every

one concerned about the well-being of the citizens of Winters. I hope, when we look back at 2023, they will prove me right.

One big plus with the elections being over is that we won’t have to watch any more po litical ads. Can you imagine what it must be like to live in Geor gia where there will be a runoff next month?

An extra election will guarantee big profits for all of the media outlets in Georgia, but pain and suffering for the people.

Newspapers don’t benefit financially like television sta tions, but it was still a boost for the Express to get a few political ads before this past election. I used to joke that whoever put in the biggest ad got my en dorsement, but I don’t think the new manage ment team thinks that is funny. My father and I used to put asterisks by birth announce ments if they gave us a cigar. When you asked what the asterisks were for, he would say that it meant the couple had been married for at least nine months. He said it brought in a lot of cigars. You will still see an asterisk, once in a great while, in the birth announcements, carrying on a nice fam ily tradition.

The meaning of long-term care

By Wally Pearce Winters Elder Day Council

Starting in Novem ber 2001, Congress recognized Longterm Care Awareness Month to make infor mation about longterm care more acces sible. Long-term care services include med ical and non-medical support afforded to individuals that can not conduct essential daily functions.

According to the Northeast ADA Cen ter, a member of the ADA National Net work, National In stitute on Disability, Independent Living,

Rehabilitation Re search, and the U.S. Department of Edu cation, major life ac tivities include, but are not limited to: “caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing, hear ing, eating, sleep ing, walking, stand ing, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, think ing, communicating, and working.”

In some circum stances, long-term care services can occur in a person’s home, while in other situations might be

that an individual in need would decide to live in an assist ed living facility or nursing home. These professional services are designed to aid individuals to subsist independently and safely once they can no longer complete their daily activities.

Long-term care fa cilities are defined as skilled nursing, assisted living and home health care.

November 2022 is National Long-term Care Awareness Month, a dedicated time when advocates advance the meaning

of nursing homes to ensure that residents of any long-term care facilities are protect ed where they live. November also in spires adults to ini tiate a care plan for their future.

Long-term Care Awareness Month is also an opportunity to check in with loved ones who live in care facilities, to make

sure that the care plans in place are effective. Reaching out to those in long-term care facilities can also have a positive effect on their happiness and safety, as isolated patients may be at a higher risk of elder abuse.

Conversely, as effective, and important as long-term care environments are, and while most long-term care facilities take great care to ensure the safety of their patients, still, some residents might experience various levels of abuse or neglect from staff. Recognizing, and identifying signs of resident home abuse, can save patients from severe emotional or physical distress.

Patients in long-term care environments

may be especially susceptible to safety problems during their care, since patients requiring assistance in long-term care facilities are disproportionately older and chronically, and frequently sick, and often arrive at a long-term care milieu post-acute hospitalization.

Unfortunately, various forms of long-term care abuse are pervasive due to understaffing, inadequate education, and often, due to staff exhaustion. In California, any type of elder abuse, no matter the degree, when, or where the abuse occurs, it’s considered to be a crime. Under California Criminal law, Penal Code §368, elder abuse occurs “when a person knows that a victim is an elder then inflicts unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering on

the elder or willfully causes or permits that elder to suffer.”

California law labels elder abuse as abandonment, elder neglect, emotional abuse, financial abuse, physical abuse, self-neglect, and sexual abuse.

In Yolo County, anyone can make a referral alleging elder abuse or neglect

by calling 911, Adult Protective Services at 1-888-675-1115, or 211 Yolo County, Elder/Dependent Adult Abuse Reporting.

This November 2022, evaluating a long-term care environment places a necessary window of opportunity into their operations while inserting a valuable focus on how long-term care can be

of enormous help to ensure that residents are receiving the level of care that they need and deserve.

Any individual might expect a longterm care experience if they sustain an acute, continuing health condition or serious injury and subsequent disability.

Absent any warning, the necessity for long-

term care can rapidly ascend, maybe after a stroke or heart attack. However, any illness is subject to a bit-by-bit progression as individuals age, or become weaker, as an incapacitating disease or debility takes hold to limit their daily life functions.

It’s clear, long-term care facilities are an important and central component within the fabric of our community, that provides critical daily support to patients who might not, and because of their health situation, by no means own the necessary human abilities and resources to safely care for themselves.

This November, please join the Winters Elder Day Council and help in recognizing the value of Longterm Care Awareness Month in our community.

While traditional stretching works wonders for the body, there’s a way to get even more out of it.

Head chiropractor of Winters Family Chiropractic, Dr. James Stirton breaks down the benefits of using a foam roller alongside regular stretching.

A foam roller is a cylindrical tube of foam roughly 36 inches in length with a six-inch diameter. To use it, one simply maneuvers different parts of their body — say the calves for example — on the foam roller and rocks back and forth. Just like how a dough roller flattens out the dough, foam rollers are great at loosening up tight muscles.

“You can lay on and rest your body on this cylindrical roll, and by rolling on it, you will effectively massage your tissues wherever you’re rolling. The foam roll is an excellent massage tool you can use on your own to loosen and liberate the facial restrictions in your hips, back, shoulders, legs and arms,” explained Stirton. “My favorite for just ease of doing it and how great it feels is just sitting on the foam roller where the meat of your butt is. You just rock back and forth a little and it hits all the hip muscles that are bearing all the weight when you’re upright. It will reduce most pelvic pain right out of the gate when you come home from a long day on your feet. You can sit on the foam roller in front of your TV and roll on it and it’ll loosen you right up.”

Stirton advocates for good old-fashioned stretching; however, it’s not quite as effective as using a foam roller. From breaking up deep, fascial restrictions to reducing inflammation, there’s a reason foam rollers are widely used in chiropractic practices.

“Stretching and foam rolling are not the same things because it’s like a totally different massage technique. Stretching really isn’t any type of massage because

you can stretch and then foam roll and get added benefit in your muscle repair.”

Dr. James Stirton

you’re just taking the two points of attachment of a muscle and creating more distance between them. That causes a direct

pulling on that tissue and gets it out to an optimal length again because muscles will be at a fixed tightness and not change

easily. So, it’s actually better to do foam rolling in addition to your stretching,” said Stirton. “Foam rolling, like stretching, will alleviate soreness, it helps reduce inflammation and it helps muscle recovery. So, after a workout, you can stretch and then foam roll and get added benefit in your muscle repair. I’d say the foam roll is more effective at reducing post-workout soreness because it does more than stretching. It pushes the lactic acid buildup out of your muscles

quicker.”

To Stirton, foam rolling is something

he recommends his patients do in between chiropractic appointments. As foam rollers vary in hardness, he also recommends people begin with softer rollers and work their way up.

“I’ll start someone on a softer, lower-density foam roller. As that becomes more comfortable and invigorating and not tender and painful to do, I up it to a firmer roll to increase the breaking up of all those problem areas,” said Stirton.
